Hercules is seen as a "superhero" of Greek mythology, which is a great difference of Hamlet because Hamlet is in no way seen as a "superhero" or someone to look up to. Hamlet

As Shakespeare once wrote, the world is simply a giant human spectacle with a nonexistent offstage, no break away from the largely populated audience. In Shakespeare's tragedy, Hamlet, a wandering ghost who resembles the late king, calls the titular prince of Denmark to action, telling him to avenge the king's murder. Despite immediately agreeing to kill his uncle and the current king, Claudius, Hamlet does not fulfill his promise right away, instead deciding, "to put an antic disposition on" around the people at Elsinore (Shakespeare 1.5.192).

The world of hamlet is a mess steeped in chaos, deception, and madness. Words have no meaning or value, and morals are so skewed from reality that they are unrecognizable. Speaking the truth is as rare as someone living, every one has an alternate motive or plan hatch under whatever disguise they show off. To many writers it would be seen as a horrible story that makes no logical sense, but that is just complicated beauty of the world of Hamlet. Words are used to show the personality and motive of the characters.

Some say that the revenge of a patiently plotting man is to be feared more than the uncontrolled rage of a mad man. However, Hamlet does not fit either category. He is neither a patient man who carefully plots out his revenge nor a madman that cannot control his actions. Hamlet is merely trapped inside his convoluted mind. Before Hamlet’s final declaration of revenge in Act IV, he was still in shock over the death of his father and the incredible situation that he was placed in, having to kill King Claudius. Hamlet finally comes to terms with his mind and settles that he must exact revenge soon or scrap his thoughts altogether. Shakespeare utilizes dramatic diction, vivid imagery, and specific syntax to describe the shift towards action in Hamlet’s state of mind.
